[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 390479, member: 250"] I still stand by post#6 Whenever anyone comes to a forum asking for advice there is very often been some alteration or changes that are not always fully disclosed in the opening post.. Bog standard IR testing will not show up a borrowed neutral... As the "fault" path is not from either live or neutral to earth... And if he's just done a global IR test across Live and Neutral combined to earth then no way he's going to spot it... Sounds like a 5ww short course Board change to me? :popcorn p.s. Borrowed neutral are not always between lighting circuits... I've seen plenty of lights getting their neutral from a socket circuit.. (especially in bodger conservatory extension.... Live from the light switch.. neutral back to the nearest socket!!!!! :shakehead ) [/QUOTE]
